NEW CAN OPENER
Tuesday, August 09, 2011
Today Stacey was making lasagna for a family in their ward who had just had a baby. She was trying to open a can of tomato sauce with their old can opener that every couple of turns, skips so that in a full revolution around, there are places where the lid is still connected to the can. After getting to that point, Stacey tried to finish opening it by inserting her thumb and pulling. When she pulled she cut her thumb. That made her jerk and that caused tomato sauce to go flying all over the kitchen, her body and her clothes.
There was blood running down her arm.
She yelled, “I’m bleeding!”
Bailey came running seeing the mess and thinking it was all blood totally lost it. She called her dad on the phone yelling, “Mom cut herself bad and I don’t know what to do.”
Jayden panicked too but not as bad as his sister.
There was blood in the tomato sauce and they didn’t have another can so she had to take care of her bleeding thumb, clean herself up put on new clothes and either she ran to the store or Corey got a can on his way home from work.
Corey bought her a new can opener and bought her two of them as a joke; one manual and one electric.

LONG DAY/NIGHT yawn
Thursday, August 04, 2011
Obviously I haven’t written for a week or so…not a whole lot to say. Little things have happened but nothing to go Wow! about.
Yesterday at Alexa’s suggestion Judy and I along with Niki’s family ate at Winger’s on 134th, not tooooo far from their house. This was to celebrate Alexa’s first day at kindergarten.
When we first got there Gavin had a snotty nose and was grouchy. He sat next to his mother and Alexa sat next to me and was a silly chatterbox. Later she crawled under the table and set next to Niki and soon fell asleep. Greg put Gavin between him and me. He was fine by this time and we got silly…wrestling as best we could in a corner (round) restaurant booth. Gavin kept screaming but there was a little kid in the next booth that was yelling as loudly as Gavin so it sort of balanced itself out. Greg did try to quiet things down but was only successful for a few seconds at a time.
There near the end, Gavin and I went outside a goofed off in the parking lot.
I went home a tried to get a short nap.
Jim flew in and Judy picked him up at the airport. When they got home, Jim threw a few things together and he and Judy and I jumped in Judy’s Honda Civic hybrid. By this time it was dark and we had a three and a half-four hour drive (each way) getting him to Jensen, Utah, about ten miles east of Vernal and not too far from the Colorado border at about 12:30 including a stop for gas and snacks and another one to go potty and buy some ice that Chris requested via a text message. In Jensen we met up with Chris and two of his friends who were in Chris’ fold up camping trailer.
Judy and I got home at about 3:30 this morning. I took a sleeping pill and except for one potty break, slept until a quarter past 12:00.
Judy had to go to work, but set her alarm for 9:15 so she got a little sleep.
Today they drove (I assume all when as planned) into Colorado with a river rafting company and started their four day rifting journey down the Green River.
Jealous!
Chris paid for Jim which I think was very nice.
I told them both I expect detailed e-mail from them about their adventure.

REDECORATING OUT OF NECESSITY
Sunday, July 24, 2011
I put my back out big-time and my knees are killing me too. We pulled everything away from the west end of our bedroom and vacuumed and used the Bissell carpet cleaner on the floor. Later, we pulled everything to the other half of the room and did it.
Judy and Jim; from a hint from Niki, bought some cheap one by molding and Jim used him pneumatic nail gun and nailed them all around the room about two inches above the old molding, so from the floor up, there is on traditional molding, a couple inches of wall then the new one by molding.
Judy taped the wall above the new molding and painted everything below, white.
It gives the appearance of fancy molding going up six or seven inches from the floor.
We had water come in through the basement walkout door next to “Jim’s” bedroom. He ended up pulling up all the linoleum in front of the door and several feet of carpet beyond that. We are going to have to replace that area with some new flooring.
We have a problem with the drain at the bottom of the basement stairwell that I need to find an answer to.
Following are a couple of pictures of out messy bedroom.
